Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) On November 2nd, 2023, NC Division of Water Resources staff, Ron Boone, conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of NPDES permit NC0042501 for Kinder Morgan's Guilford County Terminal, located at 6376 Burnt Poplar Road in Greensboro, NC. Terminal Manager and Operator in Responsible Charge, Demond Cushingberry, was present for the inspection. The inspection findings are detailed below. This facility consists of several independent petroleum tank farm secondary containment areas that all drain and discharge to a common outfall 001, which goes to an unnamed tributary to East Fork Deep River. The facility also has an oil/water separator and treatment system that serves the truck loading rack area. Discharge from the site is controlled using a manually operated discharge control valve which is always closed until discharge becomes necessary, at which point it is opened and the discharge is observed and measured using a totalizing in -line flow meter. The flow meter is calibrated at least annually by Allied Meter Services. The facility uses SM&E for sample collection and analyses. Mr. Cushingberry generates the facility's discharge monitoring reports (DMR) using the eDMR application. DMRs and laboratory reports were reviewed and no errors were noted. All required records, including the chains of custody, were noted as correct and complete. Operators visitation logs were also complete. The entire facility appeared to be clean and well maintained. The facility uses Clean Harbors for environmental cleanup, removal of wastes, etc. Mr. Boone noted no concerns, discrepancies, or violations. Please contact Mr. Boone by phone at 336.776.9690 or by email at ron.boone@deq.nc.gov if you have any questions about the inspection or this report.
